Recently I was realizing how much milk we go through, when a smart light bulb told me how much all these milk lids sort of looked like giant colorful coins—non choking hazard size coins not to mention the perfect fit for a certain little toy cash register.

This was the birth of “milk money.” I created boy and girl silhouettes from an old profile shot of Hendrix and me which I glued to the milk lid. I also cut out colored numbers to present a number recognition and counting opportunity. Lastly, I covered the top of the lid with clear packaging tape to prevent the image from peeling up. I sort of like the way they came out. What do you think?

Natalia- It's an Albert Einstein quote, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." It's just so true...you can be smart, but not really get anywhere, solve any problems, have fun, etc., if you don't have an imagination. Sorry if it came across as rude! I didn't mean for it to sound that way! I really, really admire your creative side!! That's all I was really trying to say in the first place.

Make Monthly is...

a little place to catalog some of the making that takes place in our home each month. We also like to organize with friends every so often to create something magnificent—(with a little socializing sprinkled about). This space will also document and inform readers about these project-play-dates.
